The Helicopter (aka chopper) is an enemy introduced to Hungry Shark Evolution in the January 30th update in early 2014, originally exclusively for newer Apple devices. As of now, it is available on more powerful Android devices.

The Helicopter was simply a "re-skinned" Enemy Santa (meaning that it is essentially the same as an Enemy Santa with a different appearance). The Helicopter also appears in the new Arctic Land .

Behavior[]

Helicopters function was like the limited edition Enemy Santas that were included in the 2013 and 2014 Christmas updates. Helicopters would fly above the water, dropping depth charges which explode at a certain depth unless run into. These can be eaten by Megalodon and above.

The barrels which the helicopter drops are often called bombs, although they were actually depth charges. Megalodon, Big Daddy, and Robo Shark also can eat the helicopter's depth charges. The only way to destroy a helicopter is by jumping on the pilot, paying attention to the rotors, because, if your shark jumps on them, he will be damaged. When the pilot is killed, the entire helicopter explodes. Sometimes, eaten pilots will give you a gem.

The depth charges may remain undetonated if deployed on land or on small fishing boats or on shark finning boats. They can be eaten in this form with Megalodon and stronger.

When near the screen will zoom out to show the helicopter flying up and down. This comes along with a helicopter rotor sound.

In newer versions, helicopters spawn in space, and no longer drop depth charges. They can still damage the shark with their rotors.

Location[]

Helicopters are relatively uncommon enemies but sometimes they seem to appear each and every time that can appear anywhere in the map above the water. They hover halfway between the height limit and the surface of the water.

As stated by Future Games of London (the creators of the Hungry Shark series and Hungry Shark Evolution as well as some other popular titles), Helicopters typically appear after you have earned 200 coins in a game, but may appear before that amount of coins has been earned. though it is less likely.

The interesting thing is that there is a rare chance that a tiny RC Helicopter will appear above the island near the Toy Robot. It deals less damage and can be easily eaten by jumping on it, but its speed makes it hard to do so. Eating this miniature helicopter formerly gave you 3-5 gems.

Appearance in Hungry Shark World[]

Helicopters were added in the Air Expansion Update of Hungry Shark World with the name chopper. This time they have two counterparts, a white one that doesn't drop death charges and has the Glutwell icon on it, and a military green one that launches missiles and bullets at the player. Helicopters in this game take multiple hits to kill like mini subs.

Trivia[]

  • It is based off the Bell 47G helicopter model.
  • There is a RC Helicopter, a smaller, less dangerous counterpart of the Helicopter.
  • In the older versions of the game, it spawns lower in the air.
  • The blades will kill any birds that touch it.
  • It shares its death sound with Bad/Enemy Santa.
  • It has appeared in the Arctic Land.
  • The depth charges can be eaten by a Megalodon and above.
  • You will need a boost to get it (unless you use a Megalodon or above).
  • if you hit it in the wrong spots (rotor or back rotor) you might get the accolade "Mincemeat!" on your screen.
  • A jet pack could be helpful for fighting the helicopter, as it helps you avoid depth charges and hit it more easily.
  • Sometimes you can get stuck on top of the helicopter. This often kills the shark if it is small or lacks a Jetpack.
  • In newer versions, they no longer appear to drop depth charges.
    Can't believe they added helicopter to real life from hse!
